The African porcupine is a species of rodent native to sub-Saharan Africa. One of the largest rodent species in the world, African porcupines are characterized by the sharp, barbed quills that cover their bodies. They utilize these quills for defense against predators. They inhabit a wide range of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and rocky areas, and are primarily nocturnal, foraging for food at night. African Porcupines are herbivores, feeding on a variety of plant materials such as roots, tubers, bark, and fruits. They are solitary animals, except during the breeding season, and play important roles in their ecosystems as seed dispersers.
